Click Coercion:

You are not supposed to fool visitors into clicking on your ads by mistake, or by chance. Yes, I’m talking about overly ads, movable ads, jumping ads, or any form of ads which makes your visitors to clicks ads by mistake. Just like the below screenshot.

You cannot fool Google for much longer, as they know how it actually works for you and for them.

Made For AdSense (MFA) Sites:

Made For AdSense websites doesn’t add any value to their readers, or which have very little content in their websites These websites are created with the sole purpose of hosting ads in various pages, and make the visitors to click on ads. Always make sure to create high value informational sites for people, which can get your some money and online authority. There are many scraped or copied content websites in Internet, but not all are fortunate enough to experience the real money from AdSense. Remember that if your site has no value, it might be considered as MFA and end up with suspension.

Incentivized Traffic:

You are not supposed to send incentivized traffic to AdSense enabled pages. This means you cannot use paid traffic such as PPC as well as traffic exchanges, to send visitors to read your content. Many people sign up for paid traffic websites, where you need to check out each others pages for traffic. Avoid these kinds of cheap techniques to get money from AdSense, as you will not be entertained for much longer.

Low Quality Websites:

Google has become smart in penalizing AdSense accounts on the basis of individual sites. If any of your websites have low quality content, autoblogging, single keyword focused sites, then confirm your Google AdSense suspension instantly. This happens to most Affiliate marketers, as they generate websites using single keyword phrases like weight loss, yeast Infections and other micro niche sites. If any of your websites fall under these categories, its better to remove them asap and focusing on quality content and authority.

Note: If you use both AdSense and AdWords account at a time, there is risk of getting banned in both the networks at a time. So if your AdWords account is banned, it wont take much time to ban your AdSense too. Be careful in maintaining two different accounts for your AdWords and AdSense services.

Content Violations:

There are many types of categories and content which will get you banned from AdSense instantly. Avoid publishing pornography, hate, drugs, cheating, hacking aids, weapons, alcohol, tobacco content in your website.

Copyrighted Material:

According to Google AdSense TOC, you cannot use copyrighted content in your website. So don’t use content which you don’t own, or which you don’t have rights to. Many people either try to steal the data directly, or rewrite the copied content with little modifications. Both these practices should be avoided, as quality is the most important factor to rank high in Google.
